Chelsea Stuart’s essay about why she avoids beaches includes solid reasons for those who share her perspective. She dislikes the sand and the sunburn threat, and she adds that “Crowds are infuriatingly unavoidable.” These few reasons keep this Jetsetter magazine contributor far from shores, and if you feel the same, Belize might, at first glance, not be at the top of your list of places to visit this summer. But perhaps the time has come to clear up the “rumor” that Belize travel begins and ends at the Caribbean shoreline! The fact is, Belize is awash in lush jungles, fragrant pine forests, and around 900 Maya temples. It’s a cultural treasure – which is why travelers keep returning more often than you may imagine.
Where do Belize aficionados stay? At an elegant, family-owned resort often described as both regal and romantic by frequent guests. Enter San Ignacio Resort Hotel: where exceptional personal service and lush accommodations are simply business as usual!
